1INTRODUCTION
1.1 ABOUT PELLET HEATING
Pellet stoves offer a dramatic improvement in the convenience of heating with solid fuel. Wood
pellets are handled in bags and are therefore easily and cleanly stored. A single loading of a pellet
stove can provide long hours of warmth. Pellet stoves also provide a special comfort associated with
wood burning. The combination of fans delivering warm air currents and the direct comfort of radiant
heat provides special satisfaction on a cold winter day. The heat provided is even and constant, due
to the auto fuel feed responding to owner settings. Pellet stoves also offer strong environmental
benefits; pellets not only reduce dependence on finite supplies of fossil fuels like oil and gas, but they
also put to good use materials that would otherwise unnecessarily and expensively add to our waste
disposal problems.
In addition, pellet stoves burn very cleanly and offer the lowest emissions of unwanted pollutants of
all solid fuel burning appliances.
1.1.1 TOP 10 REASONS FOR BUYING A PELLET STOVE
•Fuel is relatively cheap, easy tohandle and store
•Installation is relatively inexpensive and flexible
•Can be thermostatically controlled
•Can run for long hours without the need to refuel
•Heat output is steady because fuel feed is regulated
•Provides powerful convection heat
•Has the lowest emissions of all solid fuels
•Reduces our dependence on fossil fuels
•Pellets are a renewable fuel
•Wood pellets are made of 100% residual matter (saw dust). This creates added-value from
waste that would otherwise end up in a landfill.

4VENTING SYSTEM
4.1 GENERAL
Even though the chimney draft is mechanical, a suitable venting system will ensure a natural draft
which will prevent smoke spillage in your home if a power outage occurs. Moreover, a suitable
venting system configuration will help getting the best efficiency out of your stove when installed in
accordance with the required EVL (see Section 4.3 Equivalent Vent Length (EVL)).
Even the best stove will not function safely and efficiently as intended if it is not connected to a
suitable venting system.
4.2 RECOMMENDATIONS
In Canada, we recommend that you use a listed pellet vent that meets the CAN/ULC S609 or ULC/ORD
C441 Standard. A pellet vent listed to ULC S629M is also suitable for installation with this stove.
For the United States, we recommend that you use a listed pellet vent that meets the UL 641
Standard. A pellet vent listed to UL 103 is also suitable for installation with this stove.
This stove can be vented in an existing factory-built or masonry chimney with the addition of a
stainless steel liner, provided the chimney is more than 4” in diameter. The liner should be listed and
should meet the ULC S635 CAN/ULC S640 standard in Canada and the UL 1777 standard in the USA.
Refer to the instructions provided by the vent manufacturer, especially when passing through a wall,
ceiling or roof.
4.3 EQUIVALENT VENT LENGTH (EVL)
Recommended venting system inner pipe diameter is 4”.
To calculate the EVL of your installation, use the following conversions:
Qty Type of pipe EVL equivalent(ft)
1 90° elbow or “T” 5
1 45° elbow 3
1 ft Horizontal pipe run 1
1 ft Vertical pipe run 0.5

7000 Pellet Stove Installation and Operation Manual
16________________________________________________________________________________________________
NOTE: Horizontal runs shall not exceed 9 feet.
NOTE: Never exceed 30 feet of EVL.
Here is an example to help you calculate Equivalent Vent Length. On the following figure the EVL can
be calculated like this:
•2 horizontal run of 1’ = (2 X 1’) X 1’ = 2’ of EVL
•1 elbow 90° or "Tee" = 5’ of EVL
•3 vertical length of 4’ = (3 X 4’) X 0.5’ = 6’ of EVL
•Total EVL = (2’ + 5’ + 6’) = 13’.
NOTE: Do not include the exterior wall termination in the EVL calculation (45° elbow and
termination).
For example, let’s imagine an installation consisting of a horizontal
vent coming out at the back of the stove on a total distance of 8 feet.
This horizontal run is followed by a tee and a 6-foot vertical rise. This
type of installation is not acceptable. As you can see, the vent
termination is clearly outside the allowed configuration zone on the
chart because the venting system proposed does not have at least
one foot of vertical rise for each foot of horizontal run.

7000 Pellet Stove Installation and Operation Manual
________________________________________________________________________________________________ 17
Instead, if the installation consisted of a horizontal vent coming out
at the back of the stove on a total distance of 4 feet, followed by a
tee and a 6-foot vertical rise, it would be acceptable. The installation
end should be within the allowable configuration zone on the chart
since it would have at least one foot of vertical rise for each foot of
horizontal run. Furthermore, the total vertical rise would be at least
3-foot high.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of smoke spillage there should always
be at least one foot of vertical rise for each foot of horizontal run. In
all cases, at least 3 feet of vertical rise is needed.
4.4 TERMINATION LOCATION
Termination should not be located so that hot
exhaust gases can be a hazard. They can reach
temperatures of 500°F (260°C) and cause serious
burns.
CAUTION: TERMINATION COLLAR (SPARK
ARRESTER) IS MANDATORY.
4.4.1 PERMITTED TERMINATION LOCATION
Refer to NFPA 211 (USA) or CSA B365 (Canada) for rules for the distance of exit terminal from
windows and openings. The exit terminal of a mechanical draft system, other than a direct vent
appliance shall be located in accordance with the following.
